All the girls are on their smoke breaks
Waiting on the strategies of inebriation.
Blinded by the
Neon lights and
Led by the eyes like flies.
But we're all so prettied up for the formal
That we haven't woken from this coma.
It's okay to be so generic
When we're all so photogenic.
I've come alone to raise my father,
Enclosed in ash and candle border.
We've called upon the Razor Fern,
And sacrificed the water.
Underneath the willow's dead gaze
An army of ants solute the cries.
As the ram's head turns to face us,
We're ensnared inside his eyes.
I've come alone to raise my father,
Enclosed in ash and candle border.
We've called upon the Razor Fern,
And sacrificed the water.
Don't speak.
Lacerate.

Better Than

Daddy's little girl,
Machine gun mistress.
She just stands so close
There's no way she can miss us.
But it's something to watch,
It's just something to watch.
Bring your arsenal
To the party.
Turn the music up
So we can start it.
Throwing up on the floor,
He just missed the door.
Bleeding out on the floor,
She's never died before.
Smiley face in the noose
Tells me I have one more thing to lose.
When I make it to hell
I'll save a seat for you.
Just make eye contact,
yeah, that's the spirit.
But she's in his lap,
So I'll just forget it.
I think I'm better than this.
Am I better than this?
Smiley face in the noose
Tells me I have one more thing to lose.
When I make it to hell
I'll save a seat for you.

At the end
We stood and stared
As the punch-line
Filled the air
And the radios stopped sending out
Emergency broadcasts and signals.
Anoint my head
In motor oil
And we can rebury the dead again.
Taste the ash
On your tongue.
And the pianos confess
Like the mushroom cloud caress
And the tickets for the lottery
Were handed out like ammunition.
Anoint my head
In motor oil
And we can rebury the dead again.
Taste the ash
On your tongue.
